Fractionation of lignin using organic solvents: A combined experimental and theoretical study
(Elsevier, 2021-01-31)
Refining of industrial lignin to produce homogeneous fractions is essential for high-value applications. However, the understanding of key interactions between a variety of solvents with lignin polymer is still uncertain. ...
Genome of Pesxtera Muierii skull shows high diversity and low mutational load in pre-glacial Europe
(Elsevier, 2021-07-26)
Few complete human genomes from the European Early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) have been sequenced. Using novel sampling and DNA extraction approaches, we sequenced the genome of a woman from "Pesxtera Muierii,"Romania who ...
Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
Radiological characterisation in view of nuclear reactor decommissioning: On-site benchmarking exercise of a biological shield
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-04-28)
[EN] Nearly all decommissioning and dismantling (D&D) projects are steered by the characterisation of the plant being dismantled. This radiological characterisation is a complex process that is updated and modified during ...
Exposure to metals and metalloids among pregnant women from Spain: Levels and associated factors
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
[EN] Background: Humans are regularly exposed to metals and metalloids present in air, water, food, soil and domestic materials. Most of them can cross the placental barrier and cause adverse impacts on the developing ...
A Robust Optimization Based Energy-Aware Virtual Network Function Placement Proposal for Small Cell 5G Networks with Mobile Edge Computing Capabilities
(Hindawi, 2017)
In the context of cloud-enabled 5G radio access networks with network function virtualization capabilities, we focus on the virtual network function placement problem for a multitenant cluster of small cells that provide ...
QoE-Oriented Mobile Edge Service Management Leveraging SDN and NFV
(Hindawi, 2017)
5G envisages a "hyperconnected society" where trillions of diverse entities could communicate with each other anywhere and at any time, some of which will demand extremely challenging performance requirements such as ...
Integration of gene expression and DNA methylation identifies epigenetically controlled modules related to PM2.5 exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Air pollution has been associated with adverse health effects across the life-course. Although underlying mechanisms are unclear, several studies suggested pollutant-induced changes in transcriptomic profiles. In this ...
Risk and Protective Factors for Bullying at 11 Years of Age in a Spanish Birth Cohort Study
(MDPI, 2020-06-19)
(1) Background: Bullying affects a large number of children worldwide. This study has two objectives, to provide data on the prevalence of bullying in Spain, and to identify risk and protective factors associated with ...
Enhanced mass sensitivity in novel magnetoelastic resonators geometries for advanced detection systems
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Acoustic wave based sensors have a major impact in the detection of low concentration of biological and chemical agents. Magnetoelastic resonator platforms are particularly interesting due to their low cost and wireless ...
